Egor Demin has committed to BYU for the 24-25 season.

Demin is a projected lottery pick in 2025 who is currently playing for Real Madrid.

Demin is a 6'9 guard from Russia. 

Lithuania guard Kasparas Jakucionis has committed to the University of Illinois. Jakucionis is considered one of the top international guards heading to a United States college, and he's a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

The 6-foot-6 guard has appeared in five games for Barcelona across various competitions over the last two seasons. Across multiple different competition, with Barcelona and their youth team, Jakucionis averaged 17.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.2 assists.

Jakucionis is just one of what is expected to be several international players to commit to playing college basketball in the United States. The advent of NIL deals has made collegiate basketball a more attractive path for foreign-born players than it used to be.

Trent Perry, a McDonald's All-American, announced his commitment to UCLA.

Perry had originally committed to USC, though he reopened his commitment after Andy Enfield left the Trojans.

Perry is ranked No. 27 in the ESPN 100 for his class.

"What attracted me was that there's a good opportunity to turn things around after this past season, and I want to do that for my hometown," said Perry.
